Hello World, Debian has been a constant presence at FOSDEM for the past few years,
and this year will be no different.

The FOSDEM organizers have decided last year to no longer assign
devrooms to distributions, but to instead group all distributions into a
common devroom, turning that into a distributions miniconf. For the next
edition, on the 5th and 6th of February 2011, the concept will be
similar.

Though it is not yet certain what the details will look like, it is
certain that there will be room for distribution-related talks; so this
is a call for talk proposals for the distributions rooms at FOSDEM 2011.

People interested in doing a talk related to either Debian specifically
or distributions in general, should send a full proposal to the
dist2011@lists.fosdem.org mailinglist.

Thanks, and see you at FOSDEM,
